. unprecedented development, of unparalleled advancement.
Thla new era la. already upon ua, la already begun, but

A DEMONSTRATION
OF
THIS REPUBLICAN national platform Is remarkable
for Its silence upon several Important topics and
Especially noteworthy is Its utter omission to .give
any pledges of economy In the administration of public
affairi. la view of the appalling rate of increase in the.
cost of government under Republican rule It would have
been' eminently fitting to give the voters of the country
some 'assurance of a more economical policy In the future.
But upon this subject the platform Is singularly silent '
The total congressional appropriations during President
Roosevelt's -administration amount to $2,449, 228,S45. This
Is over $500,000,000 in excess of the appropriations during
McKlnley's administration and over $1,100,000,000 more
than the total during Cleveland's second term. The cost
of government under Roosevelt has been more than twice
what It was under Harrison and nearly three times what
It was In Cleveland's first term.
; Of course the obvious - defense Is that the necessary
and inevitable expenses of the government have been
greatly Increased of late years, both by territorial acquisi
tions and by growing population. But the defense Is not
adequate. The rate of Increase in cost of government has
been .utterly out of. proportion : to ur growth In "either
territory or. population. During a period of 20 years the
population has Increased about SO per cent while the con
gressional appropriations have Increased nearly , $00 per
cent
t If this ratio of Increase In national expenditures Is to
continue, as it doubtless will In the event of Roosevelt's

to a large extent and much of It Ilea on

the opinion, however, that every foot of
this ground Is fertile for the purpose, of

ISSUE IN WASHINGTON. -

the head of their ticket- and an admit
corporation candidate as his opponent
carry the state next fall. Turner Is
able man. but he la a courageous man.

issue In the campaign this year In
Washington, aside from the personality of the candidates,
and thla Is presented In the following plank of the Demo
cratlo platform: '
We believe that the paramount and all Important
Issue In this campaign Is the question of whether the
people shall regulate the corporations or the corpo
rations dominate the states We emphatically assert
the right of the' people- to regulate the corporations
and , therefore, demand first, the creation of a non
partisan regulative railway commission, to be ap
pointed by 'the governor', with power to adjust and
regulate freight and passenger rates on all common
carriers, and also with power, to fix the value of and
levy taxes upon the property of all public service
corporations doing an lnter-stat or inter-county
business. :-.' . .' ' "
Every since Washington became ' a state the railroads
dominated the Republican party, In Its
legislatures. In Its county governments,
the court. They completely ruled the
convention, and named the ticket This
or disguised. So It Is a clear-cut Issue
between corporation rule and corporation subjection to
the people's interests. ' ' ' .
It will be an Interesting struggle to observe, to see
which . Is stronger, the allied corporations, or all the rest
of the people, whom the corporations cannot control.
A CONVERT THAT NEEDED NO

of the Chicago Chronicle's alleged conversion to
the cause of Republicanism. A brilliant light
Is thrown on its aotion In Lincoln" fiteffen'a article pub
lished In McClure's for August .In his "Enemies of the
Republic" it Is very plain to be seen. If true, that the
Chronicle never was Democratlo except as an aid and
adjunct to the machine and to further the personal ends
of Its owner; and when a Democratlo mayor 'beat the
ring that had been united only to "work" the city. It sud
denly became a convert to Republicanism, and like all
new converts. Is more partisan than any old-timer could
hope to be. Mr. Steffen's article- Is well worth reading

In Esopus, so ths story goes, sells or

sdvertlsed on a sign tacked up on the
side of the store. 'The sign read:

On the day of Judge Parker's nomina
tion the sign disappeared. But on the
same day; according to the story. Judge
Psrker sent down to the store for 100

storekeeper, prompted either by keen

WAR CONTRASTED
(By Prof. Edgar L LarklnJ
(Copyrlfh, 1904, by W. B. Hearst)
The mystery of war. Is one of the In
explicable things In nature, and it Is
useless to Inaulre why fighting exists.
Lin fsct it Is no uss to make Inquiry
as to why anything is In existence.
All that part of the universe within
the rang of vision of the largest tele
scope Is known to be governed by rigid
laws., not one of which can ne vioiatea
without swift and adverse consequences
following.
As large ss the visible universs may
be, everything Is ssen to be ruled by
vast laws except men. 1
The writer. In msny years of re
search, has been unable to detect a
trace of- law ruling . human beings,
whether singly or eoUeoted Into natlona
The best man In a neighborhood a

community, one whom the people find
It almost impossible .to dispense with.

than his near neighbor, who may be a
moral leper, whoae very presence Is
withering.
Kings will order thousands of men
!xo the very Jaws of death without a
wlnge of conscience.
To the writer It Is sn Insoluble ques
tion why men obey. Why will ths mil
lions' march to the cannon's mouth on
the order of a monarch?
In this rapid age war hae tar deeper
results thsn st first sppear. . Ths tele
graphic systems of the world sre so per
fect that the news of a battle Is soon
known everywhere. The eyes of count
less' millions slmost see the fields of
carnsge. And from known laws of hu
man psychology ths effects of these
battles are deplorable.
. But of all hideous things thst have
appeared-on earth moving pictures of
sctusl battles on display In theatres ars
the worst Thle horror Is new In his
tory. Ths writer saw all the horrors
of a battle between' the Russians snd
Jspanese In glowing, .shifting pictures,
10 feet wide, before the audience in a
orowded theatre, -
It was a matinee, and the building
was full of. women and 'girls. Now,

present were Bhongotongo or-BIg Horse;

The Incident Just related Induced us to

favorable for a. fort and trading-fac
tory, as the sou Is well calculated for
bricks, there Is an abundance of wood
in the ' neighborhood, ' and the air la

WITH THE FAIR

when thinking of the horrors now

And Is there no hope tor man? Haa any

scenes appeared t
Now look at the magnificent display
In St Louis. The contrast between
the world's exposition of progress in
the Louisiana purchase exposition and
the war Is striking in'the extreme.
This display is by far ths finest yet
made. Ths brain of man is open to
inspection in this wonderful exhibit of
his majesty, ths developed man. The
writer haa been watching the St Louis
exposition from Its Inception, mors par
ticularly In Its scientific features, and
asserts thst the display in all that has
been done In scientific research up to
date Is far snd away beyond all that has
so far appeared. The spirit of man
broods over ths vast buildings and the
lights of their Interiors. Acres of com
plex mechanism are on inspection, and
the genius of humanity, presides over
the great temples erected to his honor.
Here the sweet arte of peace are on
lavish display. Goodness is round-about
snd sll who feast their eyes on the
splendors of the mind's choicest pro
ducts cannot help wondering why the
same kind of beings who developed
this marvelous display will jlay each
other. ' . '
How can war and this fair be on the
same plane? This question csnnot be
answered In our present knowledge. Or,
why will not the good people of the
world rlss snd end wsr? Within ths

earth no such sharp contrast hss been
displayed as thst between the war -In
